About The Image Lab

Here at Image Lab our goal is to take your photography to the next level and educate all who are interested in not just taking pictures but making pictures. Image Lab is equipped with both traditional and modern photographic equipment blending old and new.

From shooting and processing black and white film, darkroom printing, alternative image making processes, to our full lighting studio, Image Lab is Bozeman’s best place for all things photographic.
